https://paste.md-5.net/leguruqama.java - Anyone know why even though i'm setting dimension size the panel 'panel 1' is taking up the whole page and not just the dimensions set?

I recommend working with GradBagLayout

#

not using it is a bit like shooting yourself in the food

#

I'll give it another go I guess

        JPanel extensionList = (JPanel) getTopComponent();
        GridBagLayout layout = new GridBagLayout();
        extensionList.setLayout(layout);
        // <...>
            JLabel latestVersion = new JLabel(desc.latestVersion);
            MouseClickListener listener = new MouseClickListener(new ExtensionSelector(parent, row - 1, this));
            latestVersion.addMouseListener(listener);
            if (latestVersion.getPreferredSize().width > versionWidth) {
                versionWidth = latestVersion.getPreferredSize().width;
                layout.columnWidths = new int[] {nameWidth, descriptionWidth, versionWidth};
            }
            GridBagConstraints versionConstraint = new GridBagConstraints();
            versionConstraint.gridx = 2;
            versionConstraint.gridy = row;
            versionConstraint.ipady = 5;
            versionConstraint.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
            versionConstraint.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
            extensionList.add(latestVersion, versionConstraint);

is an example of how I use it in one of my older projects.
It's rather easy tbh - but I didn't understand it at first either
